4. QuantLab- The package QuantLab contains a collection of R-commands, which support computer experiments in the fields of probability, stochastic processes, stochastic analysis and mathematical finance.

5. Playing games with R using a NWS Server- The R package 'gamesNWS' provides an infrastructure to play different games (e.g. uno, poker) in a network. For the communication a NetWorkSpace Server and the R package NWS will be used.

9. Boost C++ Template Library Project- Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries implemented mostly as templates. We place a subset of them in this package as a more efficient distribution system for CRAN.

10. PiFace GUI for sample size determination- Provide a Java GUI for sample-size methods that interfaces with R. In the long term, make the software more open to further development by talented people.

11. portfolio_efficient_asset_allocation- functions to make application of Harry Markowitz portfollio optimization quick and easy. Calculate a vector of portfollio weights that minimize risk for a given return. To use this code first load the tseries and quantmod library.

12. ROMP- A binding of the parallel application programming interface OpenMP for the R-Interpreter. Fortran code is generated and compiled on the ﬂy by the toolkit and the OpenMP directives are inserted.

16. Rgis- Rgis is an incubator for developing spatial packages. It contains early work in progress. More mature fledglings of Rgis, that now have their own R-forge sites, are: raster, gdistance, remotesensing, and geosphere.
